I really liked this idea.  The simplicity of it leads to a quite striking
image.
More could perhaps have been done with textures on the ski lift, to make it
less uniformly grey.

From charliemc@prodigy.net:
Very well done.

From tim_cutho@smileyface.com:

Great models and cxomposition, but could have done with some textures on all the
plain white objects.

Artistic - Nice! Good heightfield.
Technical - Nice details on chairlift, but ripples on the sand need to be less
circular.
Concept - It's a contrast. (we have snow and ski hills in Canada so we saw the
contrast immediately.)(and after we stopped chuckling (nice unintentional
humour), marked it)(Grin!) TRES Bon!

Nice use of thirds, excellent framing, good lighting.  
However you need more differentiated colour there only 
5 colours in your whole picture...

Technically - the chair and lifts are excellent!  But no 
mound aroudn the lift support pole, and there is no 
scouring from the sand - it looks more plastic than metal.  
Finally - you are very very wrong when you say there is 
nothing to add in a desert - there are many, many plants 
and animals (small animals anyway) that survive quick 
well in the desert!

Excelleent concept.

From StephenF@whoever.com:
I like the concept here, and the ski lift has a simple 
complexity about it.  (Not sure that last comment makes 
sense, but hopefully you can figure out what I mean.)  I 
think the texture on the dunes could use some work.

From gmccarter@hotmail.com:
A very good contrast indeed.  Clever idea!  And well executed, but the
simple nature of the scene limits your tech score.  The textures could use
some refinement -- in this kind of image, every detail counts.  Instead of a
constant grey, the structure could use some pitting, rust, dents, scrapes,
shiny worn areas, bird droppings, grease, or how about sandblasting!

From hfventer@ing.sun.ac.za:
The small waves on the dues are a bit too small and 
repetative.

You need one poor fool in full skiing gear riding the ski 
lift :-)

I saw an additional contrast. Chairlifts make me think skiing and cold. Desert

very very original. Sure there are no other similar themes this round...
